French and Indian War Seminars
The second of four 2012 French & Indian War Seminars at the Conococheague Institute centers on the theme of a fascinating diary kept by James McCullogh not far from the site of the Conococheague Institute in the mid-18th century. Speakers include Dr. Paula Reed, Dr. John Stauffer, Calvin Bricker, Cynthia Lawrence-Fink, and Roger Swartz.
